Triton9 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hey guys, I've been airbrushing hardbaits for about a year now with a couple different airbrushes, but haven't really found one I've been satisfied with yet. The most recent I've had was a Badger Patriot 105 and it only lasted me about six months and had a failure. Before I purchase a new one I thought I'd try to get some recommendations from some more experienced painters. Any you guys have had success with and would recommend? Thanks in advance!

RayburnGuy Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hard to go wrong with an Iwata. They do cost more, but your getting top of the line quality. Been using my HP-C for around 5 years now and all I've done is replace a needle which was my fault. That's another thing I like about Iwata. Parts are easily available should you have a problem. If you have a Hobby Lobby close to you then you can print out their 40% off coupon and save a good bit of money since they carry the Iwata brand. good luck, Ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you. My Neo had been acting up lately, so for X-mas I treated myself to a HP-CS. Hobby Lobby with 40% off coupon. Used it last nite and I realy like it. I set up a T in the airline and now can run both at once. Steppin' up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right Gone2long. I forgot about the Neo. While it does carry the Iwata name it is not made by them. Ben Correction: I stated in the first post I was using an Iwata HP-C while it is actually an HP-CH.
